I've washed the car with them on and nothing happens, and the lights shine through perfectly. I don't have any runs yet, but for $3.99 a pair and the quick install, its worth it. Also my buddy doubled his up and it's even darker

Let me know what you think!

[SIUlero]

very ummm....inventive?

i can't even see the cellulite anymore :)

[billytheman1188]

LMAO! what a brilliant idea, but i would feel weird going to the store and buying some. hahaha. i can always have my mom do it.....

"hey mom can you buy me pantyhose for my car?"

[TheMeaningOfLife]

"hey mom can you buy me pantyhose for my car?"

I just did that and all i got was a wtf kinda look. Id try it but id be afraid it would rip or tear ir worse yet come ndon and i got pantyhose haning off the back of my car!

[DOHC_tuner]

sorry doesnt look that good, kinda looks like a faded tailight in the comparison shot. But since your cars black you should tint them complete black and that'll look a bit better. Nice back bumper and mufflers

[teflone]

dude, you have issues.. lmao


But nice legs! LMAO

the rachet must have been for hitting your head until you came up with the idea!

j/k its a diff idea..

[Oldsnut]

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: WTF, just spend the extra couple of bucks and by Smoking spray. Most guys I know would not admit to putting Panty Hose on their car. I can't beleive I just had to type this on a car forum.:lol:

[mrmike]

It would look sexier if it didn't cover the whole light and maybe had some lace on it... I assume you're getting a bra for your Alero too? lolz thats just wierd...

[adam337]

you make me lol, and wtf at the same time.

[billytheman1188]

HEY, that was a good idea, fuck sanding your tails, spraying a few coats, then clear coating them. do you have pics of your buddies car with darker ones. I might do this, cause ive been wanting to tint the tails, but im too lazyyyyyyy to do all the work for the spray tint. LOL

Then get the vinyl.

[Gr1m]

just get the film that i had, its basically window tint that goes on the outside of the tails

[TheMeaningOfLife]

Where do you get it? I found the vinyl and the spray but no film like window tint.

[greenbastard]

that is to funny. but hey i guess it works and if your comfortable going to buy pantyhose then go for it.

[antichrysler]

lol interesting mod........ i'll leave it at that

[Oldsman]

should have used fish-net

[alerocar01]

interesting idea

[steve-o]

interesting, but not my cup of tea.

[p1mptress]

Interesting but in the "long run" you'll be spending more money replacing them. very different!

[Kilroy]

Now you need one big enough to fit the entire care, and it will look like you tinted the windows, headlights, turn signals, and rear brakelight. Someone has to have a girlfriend who has a pair that will fit!! ;\)

[steve-o]

:haha: LMAO

[meadus101]

I love it.

[lonnie]

You guys are crazy, but you got to give it to him his car has a decent a$$ and now a nice set of legs to match. With all jokes aside though that is a damn good idea, and of course not everybody is going to like it, but it is very creative. Good job!

[AGT]

Damn!

What?

I got a run in my taillights :lol:

[pawzbear]

i would be pissed if my bf was stealing my pantyhose. but.. who wears black pantyhose anyways? ugh..

i give u credit for being creative, and its nonpermanent and they can come off as fast as you put them on... ;) hahahha oh lord.

[adam337]

^too easy..

[VCguy85]

My buddy did it to his Ion

[adam337]

why not just buy tint spray or vinyl.?

[jayson_waltz]

kinda off topic but not really, has anybody ever used window tint to tint thier tails?

[VCguy85]

why not just buy tint spray or vinyl.?

too much work

[Aldog3788]

i used tint spray mine are as dark as fuck...pics coming soon as soon as i get off my ass to wash it...they cam out pretty good

[billytheman1188]

kinda off topic but not really, has anybody ever used window tint to tint thier tails?

Im pretty sure Gr1m used window tint. Im not 100% on that though, just ask him.

[steve-o]

too much work

It is not that hard to spray the tails at all, and will last a long longer. I bet every few months your gonna end up changing that panty hose.

Your friends ion is nice.

[Vinalero]

A little follow up, what has become of those tails? Did the socks ripped off after two days or did it last a bit?

[MattismodderX]

those will start to smell, after a few weeks of being outside with all the rain and road pollution. they might even get moldy

[billytheman1188]

not to mention if you drive your car in the winter....you could get ice on the tails, then you try to scrape it off and it rips. lol

[bizarre179]

WOW. Im not gonna rip on you, bc it did work. Amazing idea, just not for me.
